Guardianship of Adult & Minor Children
Experienced Edmond, Oklahoma, Guardianship Attorney
When parents leave children in the care of grandparents for extended periods of time, the children are sometimes best protected if the grandparents are granted legal guardianship.
To schedule a consultation with me, experienced Edmond, Oklahoma guardianship lawyer Rita J. Jencks, contact my law office. I will take the time to explain all the legal rights and responsibilities relevant to your guardianship concerns. For example, I will make it clear that when guardians are appointed to minor children, that designation is never necessarily final. Biological or adoptive parents' rights may be restored at a future time.
When Parents are absent or Parenting is handled by Grandparents or Others
Guardianships for children of divorced parents or parents serving overseas in the military gives long-term caregivers who are not parents the right to enroll children in school and add them to health insurance policies. As guardians, they can make decisions related to their whereabouts, their health care, and education. Loving grandparents who are full-time caregivers often seek legal guidance as they attempt to provide the greatest stability possible for children in their care.
Guardianships for Mentally or Physically Incapacitated Adults
I also help families make arrangements for guardianship of disabled or mentally or physically incapacitated adults. Elderly family members with dementia or Alzheimer' and other adults who are incapable of making decisions for themselves often require guardianship as a legal tool that can protect their assets and their well-being.
